The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

Chapter 224: Plan A up to Plan Z

"I saw you last night with Tristan. I saw everything. I heard everything. You confessed to him."

Hannah froze after hearing that. She was stunned for a few moments. Then the gleam of regret and guilt flashed through her eyes.

She didn't know how she would justify her action. Saying that she was drunk at that time could not redeem her either. It was her fault that things were in a big mess right now.

"Andrew… I…" She wanted to explain but she couldn't utter any words.

She saw the pain and sadness in Andrew's eyes. But he remained calm as he talked to her. He didn't scold her nor express his anger to her. She knew he was hurt.

Though she was drunk last night, she could still remember everything she said. And those words were heard by Andrew. He heard everything!

{ "Tristan! That day! I lied to you that day! I didn't like Andrew! You're the one I truly liked before! I have loved you first before Andrew!" }

{ "I kept thinking that it was all my fault. You said you didn't confess to me because I said I like Andrew. If I didn't do that, maybe we could have been together now, am I right?" }

Hannah lowered her gaze and clenched her fists. She couldn't bear to look into Andrew's eyes right now.

She hurt him so badly because of those words. She didn't know how to face him. She was his fiancee and they were about to get married.

But she became selfish and greedy for saying those words to Tristan. She loved Andrew however she had to admit that her heart also wanted Tristan that's why she had said that foolish confession last night.

Her tears already fell down her cheeks like raindrops. Her heart felt like being pierced right now by a sharp object. She didn't mean to hurt Andrew but she did.

She knew that Andrew didn't deserve this. He's an amazing person. He loved her so much. He was always good to her. But she ruined it by her one action and now she regretted doing it.

"Andrew… I'm sorry. I truly am." Hannah apologized, crying in front of him.

Andrew felt more miserable after seeing her cry. He didn't want to see her cry. He always wanted her to be happy, not sad. He would always have a soft spot for Hannah.

He loved her so much that he wanted to do this. This cool off was also for her own sake. He wanted her to figure out her feelings now or else, the two of them would never be happy even if they got married to each other.

He didn't want to tie her down in marriage knowing that her heart didn't fully belong to him… knowing that Hannah loved someone else other than him.

Andrew began comforting her. He pulled her into his arms and rubbed her back. Hannah was still crying in his chest.

"Shhh. Don't cry. It's okay. I understand. You can't force your heart to love someone. I always knew that you had feelings for my brother before. I am already happy that you gave me a chance to love you."

Hannah hugged him tightly. Andrew was still saying he understood her, instead of getting mad at her.

"But...I love you too…" Hannah said in between her sobs.

"Yes, I know… but I'm not the only one in your heart."

'I am afraid that you love him more than you love me,' Andrew thought to himself but he didn't dare to voice it out.

'Oh God, what have I done? How can I hurt someone as good as him?'

Hannah's grip on Andrew's body tightened. She didn't want to let go. Andrew just let Hannah pour her heart out by letting her cry in his arms. The two of them had stopped talking.

They just hugged each other for several minutes. His hospital gown was soaked by her tears. Andrew could only sigh helplessly as he continued comforting her.

Then Lucas and Isabelle came back to his ward. They thought Hannah was just worried about Andrew that's why she cried a lot. They were clueless.

Andrew didn't want their parents to know about this cool off. In the meantime, it would only be known between Hannah and him. They didn't want them to worry about their children's relationship.

In the end, Hannah agreed with Andrew. She hurt him badly. She had no right to refuse him. She also needed time for herself, to fix herself because she was confused about her feelings between the two brothers.

************

On Tristan's part, he already returned home together with FaMo. Both of them were feeling down without Zhen-Zhen. They could feel that the atmosphere inside Tristan's place was different without her presence.

FaMo went straight to Zhen-Zhen's room while Tristan lay down in his room. He was staring at the ceiling blankly as his mind wandered back to what happened during the family gathering.

After several minutes of reminiscing some moments, Tristan tugged his hair tightly, closing his eyes and gritting his teeth.

'Now, I am certain! Zhen-Zhen definitely saw something last night, otherwise, she wouldn't act like this.' Tristan thought to himself.

He opened his eyes and sat up straight on his bed. "But I didn't do anything wrong. It was Hannah who approached me. Why is she mad at me?"

Tristan was clueless about his mistake because he had no idea that Zhen-Zhen already knew about his feelings for Hannah.

"Argh! Very frustrating! What did I do wrong, wifey? Why is it you didn't want to talk to me? You should have told me so that I would know." Tristan continued his monologue while messing his hair.

He felt like his brain was going to burst from thinking too much. He couldn't figure out Zhen-Zhen's sudden change. This was the first time she acted like this.

He grabbed his phone and dialed Thomas's number. He wanted to know what Zhen-Zhen was doing right now. It did not take long when the call was answered.

Thomas: "Oh, Tristan? Why did you call? Did you forget something?"

'Yes, Pa, my wife. I forgot to bring her with me.' Tristan thought to himself even though he knew that Zhen-Zhen didn't want to come with him.

Tristan: "Pa, just wanna ask. How's my wife? What is she doing right now?"

Thomas chuckled because he was thinking that they were just together a while ago. Only a few minutes had passed that they were not together and now Tristan was asking him about his wife already.

Thomas: "Alice brought her to the other room where she will be staying tonight."

Tristan: "Pa, can I request you something?"

Thomas: "Sure, what is it?"

Tristan: "Honestly, I have something important to talk to her but she is avoiding me. That's also the reason why she chose to stay in your place in the meantime. Pa, can you convince her to return home tonight and talk to me? Please?"

Thomas was taken aback when he heard that. It seemed that the husband and wife got into a fight.

Thomas: " Oh ok. I will try son. I will also talk to Alice and ask her help in convincing Lillie."

Tristan's face brightened up when he heard that. He was hoping that Alice and Thomas would be able to convince Zhen-Zhen.

Tristan: "Thanks Pa. I owe you this one. Please make my wife come home. I missed her already."

Thomas chuckled once again. "Alright, let's see. I will update you later. By the way, you can always come here if you already missed her."

"Oh, nice suggestion, Pa! Can I also sleep over there tonight if ever you will fail to convince her?" Tristan wanted to try his luck. If plan A would not work then there's always plan B, plan C up to Plan Z.

Thomas somehow knew what Tristan was planning to do. He could only smile at that thought.

"Of course son. You're always welcome here. Besides, this house is yours. You were the one who bought this."

"Pa, you're wrong. That's your home. I gave it as a gift to my in-laws. But anyway, thank you in advance Pa. Please update me soon." Tristan said to him eagerly.

"Okay. I'll call you back later."

After ending the call, Tristan dashed to Zhen-Zhen's room where FaMo was staying. He wanted to share his plan with FaMo. He was the only one he could talk to right now.
